What are the rules about rescheduling matches?

“In a joint commitment with broadcaster Sky Sports, the EFL has vowed to ensure all clubs are given at least five weeks’ notice ahead of any matches selected for live television coverage.

“Furthermore, the EFL then commit to publicly announcing any fixture changes within three working days in order to give supporters as much time as is possible to allow for any alterations to travel plans that may be required.

“If both the EFL and Sky Sports are unable to meet this time-frame then the clubs involved have the ability to choose not to be broadcast live on television.

“However, if both clubs mutually agree to the rescheduling of the fixture within this five-week period then the game will be played on the new date.

“In addition to moving fixtures for TV, games can still be rearranged at short notice if players are called up to their respective international sides.

“Under current rules if three players from a first team squad are selected by their national team for a competitive or friendly match on a FIFA International Match Calendar date, clubs have the right to postpone and reschedule.”
